There is no guarantee of a hurricane hitting every season, but it is still recommended to have these safety products at the beginning of the season -- just in case. en-us Thu, 20 Apr 2006 08:37:35 EDT Thu, 20 Apr 2006 08:37:35 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Safety Products for Hurricane Season It's better to be safe than sorry, and that holds true for natural disasters, especially the ones you can predict. That's why it's a good idea to shop for safety products at the beginning of the hurricane season. When natural disasters hit, keep the rules of hurricane safety in mind. Safety products disappear fast. Don't wait until there is a watch or warning, go out early and stock your house with safety products and supplies. A seat belt is certainly an example of useful safety products. Consider them today. Make sure you also purchase a few baby safety products. You never know, in the event of an actual emergency you may not be able to purchase supplies or the stores may be all out. Act first and act fast. Basic safety products can mean the difference between riding out the storm prepared or suffering through an ordeal. Safety products like first aid kits and flashlights should be on the top of the list. At the beginning of hurricane season: Prepare emergency supplies and store bottled drinking water. Store flashlights and extra batteries. Clean storm gutters and drains. Prepare your home for high winds and rain. Repair/replace storm shutters. Check your property insurance policy for appropriate coverage as part of this kind of fire safety. Before the storm: Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, toys, and garden tools. Anchor objects that cannot be brought inside. Check/replace emergency supplies and store bottled drinking water. Review evacuation plans. Keep a supply of flashlights and extra batteries handy. During the storm: Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for hurricane progress reports. Stay inside, away from windows, skylights, and glass doors. Keep a supply of flashlights and extra batteries handy. If an evacuation is ordered, leave as soon as possible. Avoid flooded roads and watch for washed-out bridges. Secure your home by unplugging appliances and turning off electricity and the main water valve. After the storm: After the storm, stay tuned to local radio for information. Return home only after authorities say that it is safe to do so. Avoid loose or dangling power lines and report them immediately to the power company, police, or fire department. Enter your home with caution. Beware of snakes, insects, and animals driven to higher ground by flood water. Open windows and doors to ventilate and dry your home. Take pictures of any damage to the house and its contents for insurance claims. Drive only if absolutely necessary and avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges. Use telephone only for emergency calls. There you have it. You now know all about home safety.
